Britney Jean Spears is an American pop singer. Born December 2, 1981 in Kentwood, Louisiana, Spears first came to fame as a member of the Disney Channel's Mickey Mouse Club in the 1993 and 1994 seasons.
Castmates included Justin Timberlake, and Joshua Chasez, who later became members of the pop band N Sync, and Christina Aguilera, also a pop singer. Spears now dates (and shares a house with) Timberlake.
Her first album, Baby One More Time, debuted in the number 1 spot on the Billboard Charts in early 1999, and also topped the charts in the UK. The single of the same title was also a number 1 hit in many countries, and featured a memorable video clip with Spears wearing a tied-up shirt striding provocatively through a high-school corridor. Her followup album, Oops I Did It Again was a similarly huge success.
From that album her career skyrocketed into a multimillion-dollar music, advertisement, concert and TV-special mania. She is currently a Pepsi spokeswoman, but has, according to an Australian tabloid, drank Pepsi's long time rival, Coca-Cola. This is indicitive of what Britney Spears is; a mixed message, and an enigma: She uses blatant sexual dance moves, wears provocative, skimpy outfits, and sings music about her lack of innocence, and her wishes to be a "slave for you." While Spears seems to be every young man's dream, she claims to still, at age 20, be a virgin, and no one has presented a credible objection to that claim. She also denies her attempts to be explict, though any young man could write a thesis "counting the ways."
Her latest album, Britney, was released in November 6th, 2001. The first single "I'm A Slave 4U" is an R&B-influenced, slightly more mature-sounding tune probably indicating Spears' attempts to grow with her audience beyond young "tween" and teen boys are her biggest audience. Though some speculate she will be forgotten in the annals of pop culture, a recent article in GQ compares her not to a potential "Where are they now?" guest, but to Elvis Presley and his early and controversial antics.
